The Uncyclopedia concept has been adapted to wikis in more
than fifty other languages.
The magazine. net featured an interview with Huang about Uncyclopedia in May 2007.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer considers Uncyclopedia to be the wiki site equivalent of The Onion.
For instance, as an"un-" encyclopedia, the encyclopedia is named"Uncyclopedia" in both English and German.
In January
2008, the Malaysian Internal Security Ministry issued a directive alerting newspaper editors not to trust Uncyclopedia.
These include the editorial in The Register discussing the Seigenthaler incident, in which Uncyclopedia was named only once.
Uncyclopedia was launched on January 5,
2005, by Jonathan Huang, known online as"Chronarion", and a partner known online as"Stillwaters.
Although most articles mentioning Uncyclopedia are specific to the site,
there are other articles about Wikia or Wikipedia that just mention its name briefly.
